We would like to extend our thanks to Miss Lilley, Mrs. Rorke and to Mr. Moon for the valuable assistance they have given us this year. We also wish to thank the girls who so willingly helped with the afternoon teas and scored for our matches. -L.P., VI. Criticism of the Team ELLEN WESTAWAY. Ellen has played a very steady game throughout the season. She places her ball well but, at times, her service could be stronger. ANN HUDDLESTON. Ann has been a most reliable team member. Her strokes are strong and her volleying is outstand- ing. Ann well deserved her Telegraph Blue. LOLA BEATTIE. Lola played very soundly and consist- ently in her five school matches. DENISE PALMER. Denise, who was a member of our "B" team, came into the "A" for the finals in Lola Beattie's absence. Her performance was very creditable and she is a very con- sistent player. -L.P., VI. LEONE PLEDGER. Leone plays with great determination. Her stroking is sound and reliable. M.W.R.

TENNIS NOTES This year has proved very successful for the school tennis teams, especially for the "A" team which not only secured the premiership for 1951, but had as one of its members the Telegraph Blue winner-congratulations, Ann! As usual, our first match of the season was against the Old Girls. A very pleasant afternoon was spent by all and much experience was gained by the Present Teams. The Inter-School Tennis was entered into with great en- thusiasm and the standard of the tennis was very high. We hope that next year the "B" team, as well as the "A", will secure the Premiership for the School. Great interest was shown throughout the School in the various matches conducted during the Inter-Form Tournament. In the semi-finals Form V defeated Form IIIC and in the finals Form VI was victorious. The Senior and Junior Championships provided much ex- citement this year. The ~enior Doubles were won by Ellen Westaway and Margaret ·McLuckie and the Junior by Ann Huddleston and Denise Byrd. Ann Huddleston and Leone Pledger were the winners of the Junior and Senior singles re- spectively.
